 Hi you guys! It's Lindsay here. I am back for another Stash Builder box unboxing. I've done this a couple months now. This is I think is our third one and basically I just got my Stash Builder box in and I'm going to show you what is inside and we can kind of discover the the Stash Builder box for this month together. So exciting! Okay so first off there's just like a little sticker in the front of the box that just welcomes you to your box and then tells you by purchasing this box you help change your life. To find out more visit stashbuilderbox.com slash hardbuilders and basically that is Amanda's charity endeavor where a portion of the proceeds of every box goes to help make and distribute quilts to kids in need. So it's a really a great thing that she does there and helps you feel good about about investing in Stash Builder box. In addition there's always cool stuff inside so let's see what we've got. Every one of the boxes comes with a little card and on the card is a quote and this one says three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind. Couldn't have said it better myself. Henry James is the one who is attributed to that quote and he's absolutely right. We should just all be kind and that's what's most important in human life for sure. On the back of the card is just what's inside so I'm not going to look too closely at that now because I don't want it to be ruined for me. The first thing actually looks very very familiar to me. These are wonder clips and we actually use this in garment sewing. I know a lot of you quilters use it too but basically wonder clips are used in place of pins so if you have a fabric like leather for example that you can't put a pin in because it'll leave a hole permanently you will want to use wonder clips. If you are sewing something really thick like a really thick sweater knit or sweatshirt fleece or the edge of a quilt binding that has many many layers of fabric you can't really get a pin through all of that so that's whenever you use wonder clips to hold all of that stuff in and as you sew you just unclip the wonder clip. These things are wonderful and I mean people just really love them. Myself included already have some so it's always nice to have more. So yeah 10 neon green wonder clips love that. There is a pencil so we got a pencil the last two times I think this one says measure twice cut once great little reminder because I think a lot of us can get really excited and then we cut it wrong especially in quilting you guys are struggling out there sometimes with the cutting because if it's not exactly precise and you don't have a perfect square then you're just screwed. In garment sewing if we cut to if we don't pay attention to our cutting we can have something that's too small or too big or just all messed up. So yeah good little reminder measure twice cut once for sure. Let's see we've got some more art felt thread this one is like a pretty blue gray color they're calling it just gray but it's like a bluish gray to me. I don't know what do y'all think really pretty though almost denim denomy colored denim colored okay so it looks like we're eating right into the fabrics now they are the Deer Stella Junebug collection this one is called floral texture it's really really cute I love this one a lot it has a lot of great colors in it there's that's pretty like coraly orange navy turquoise pink really really pretty gray love that one floral texture this one is called net and it's in the mustard color way so it's kind of like a golden yellow color really really pretty and then we have the denny circles so the denny circles has like that almost mint turquoise background and then has like the mustard and coral all combined in there really pretty here's all three of them together really cute right I love these I have used some of my stash builder fabrics from previous boxes in my garments I've used them to make a couple of pockets for some dresses so that was a lot of fun but I could also see like this floral one for example I could see this as the placket of a dress like if you had a navy or a gray and then this was a solid as the body of the dress and then you use this as the placket in the middle that would be so cute I think in like a tunic or I don't know something that has that that placket at the top that would be so cute I think so yeah so that's what I'm doing with the stash builder fabrics like they're not just for quilting they're only fat quarters though so you can't make a whole dress out of them or anything like that but you can definitely use them as accents like pockets or like a placket or a sleeve baby could fit a sleeve into one of them so so yeah that's what I'm using mine for okay so now we're getting into the patterns and every month you're going to get a quilt top pattern and you're also going to get a block pattern so the block pattern of the month BOTMSBB is the hashtag if you want to see how other people are using the blocks of the month this one's called card trick and it's kind of just like all those chevroni almost like two s's turned kind of flipped around a little bit it's really cute I can't really imagine it as a whole quilt because that's not really I don't know it's not really how my brain works I can't visualize it but um you only need three fabrics so that's kind of cool um so half square triangles and quarter square triangles that's it so cool and they walk you through how to cut how to piece them together and then your block is done I'm curious to know if people are like would it be weird to make the the blocks of the month out of the fabrics that are sent and then piece them together even then the fabrics don't match is it would that be weird like none of them would go I don't think or are people just buying like a bunch of fabrics and then sewing up the blocks of the month and then putting them together coordinating fabrics or people with a bunch of different fabrics or are you guys um like making a whole quilt top out of one block like I'm curious to know if you're getting this dash builder box yourself um let me know what you're doing or what you would do if you if you've got all these patterns and fabrics every month and you wanted to do a quilt with them it is really inspiring to get this quilting stuff every month even though I'm not a quilter I have made a quilt in the past and I always get kind of an itch to do it again when the temperatures start to drop coincidentally it's also a great time to start a quilt if you're going to be giving one away for the holidays um so yeah it's kind of like in the back of my mind a little bit and every time I do one of these unboxings it kind of brings it to the forefront a little bit more so yeah let me know what you guys are doing or what you guys would do um okay and then the quilt top is called the stash pick of the month and this one's called a bundle buster so it looks like this you'll see that trying to get the glare to go away just a bunch of rectangles and I believe if I had to guess from the name bundle buster you could make this entire quilt top with a fat quarter bundle am I right the bundle buster quilt is a large lap size quilt that can be quickly pieced from 16 fat quarters the pattern is a perfect way to use up a fat quarter bundle of your favorite fabric line that's so true and so cool I think it's really neat to just to be able to because for me honestly like quilting is so overwhelming because I can't imagine picking out all these fabrics that go together like that's hard for me to do but this one like all that work is done for you you just buy the bundle the bundle already coordinates and then like you know it'll all match you know it all look cute and then you can have um your quilt this is what it looks like draped over some trees I can't tell if that's like a tree or a cactus but that's kind of what it looks like in real life that's such a cool idea I love that I love that it's actually um yeah this this may be the one that makes it into the Christmas gift this year um just because like all of that guesswork is done I guess you could buy a fat quarter bundle um for any fabric this is probably seeming so obvious to all you quilters out there but I'm just working my brain around it now um you could buy a fat quarter bundle and make any quilt top with it but would it be exactly the right amount of fabric that you would need or would you have extra or would you need two fat quarter bundles I don't know how all the math works so this just makes it nice and simple and I know what I'm getting and I've managed for the expectation of what I need so I love that so this was um prepared exclusively for stash holder box by quilting jet girl cute um all right cool well that is it I think let me double check um nothing else is on the card so yeah just some confetti and some tissue paper really cool yeah this is a really good one I love the fabric so much um obviously I love the quilt top a lot um this month and in terms of being a garment so are the um wonder clips you know you can never have too many of those so yeah really great if you are interested in getting
